5945 servo problem
Hi Mike
A flier in my club just purchased 6 5945 servos on 1 of them when he plugged it into the elevator slot on his rx the plastic plug by the black wire melted a little . It still works but he is wondering what caused it. He was going to call the lhs where he bought them but I said I would post here first . We tried all the other servos with no problems (same slot on rx).Futaba 149dp rx with no history of problems.
Should he send it in for service or try his lhsfor a replacement.
He is just in the process of setting up an Aerowerks Extra and this will set him back a bit and he was wondering what the quickest way to resolve this is.
Thanks
Randy

Randy- Melting the plug would indicate considerable current draw to produce that much heat. Have him call our service manager Tony Ohm @ (858)748-6948 x308 and he will figure out the best way to handle the situation. The hobby shop is not responsible for any warranty issues.
